Guess what’s going to win 2007 Gadget of the Year

Today I kicked off possibly my favorite Engadget activity of the year and opened up nominations for the 2007 Engadget Awards. Part of the rules of nominating a gadget for the award, though — as outlined TWICE in bold text — is that you shouldn’t nominate the same gadget more than once. Most people don’t, but some gadget fanboys don’t pay attention, or seem to think the nomination process accounts for voting (it doesn’t), so they nominate and renominate, etc.

Well, for those already starting a pool and placing bets on the Engadget Awards, it might interest you to know that the iPhone has already been nominated for Gadget of the Year about 60 70 80+ times. Not that I’m shocked! (Thus far the second best is the Asus Eee PC, with under 10.) And no, this isn’t an invitation to renominate your fave gadget — we’re deleting all these extra iPhone noms as they come through.
